Stay in the Company of Rainbows

Stay in the company of rainbows,
spiral the spectrum around your heart and vision.
Sprinkle stardust on the striped light
to out-twinkle the stars.

Stay in the company of rainbows
so color merges,
so color doubles and multiples
of abundance are possible.

Stay in the company of rainbows
as bridges to new dimensions,
as arches of connection.
The sky-smile hovers with light-changes.

Stay in the company of rainbows
high-humping toward heaven,
two-touching for grounding,
a wide sturdy stance to view the universe.
